The<br>charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under<br>section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (the Charities Act) and that an<br>independent examination is needed.<br>It is my responsibility to:<br>•<br>examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act,<br>•<br>to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the<br>Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act, and<br>•<br>to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.<br>My examination was carried out in accordance with general Directions given<br>by the Charity Commission.  An examination includes a review of the<br>accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts<br>presented with those records.  It also includes consideration of any unusual<br>items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from the<br>trustees concerning any such matters.  The procedures undertaken do not<br>provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and<br>consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true<br>and fair’ view and the report is limited to those matters set out in the<br>statement below.||||
